A Building BROKERAGE.

1t is remarkable how modern methods of
DONG business beget new industries and en-
tcrprises. One of the latest is a sort of build
ing brokerage The publisher of "Report"
in one of the leading cities keeps a sharp
lookout for notices in the press OF contem-
plated buildings. Sometimes he gets the
names OF the projectors from the records of
the tire department. when the permits are il
sued. Armed with this information, he adj
dresses circular to the individual or firm
reported as about to build, in which he saws:

spective house owner with circulars and price

ton would at once copy his models. Visitors
requesting permission to visit his works have
almost invariably been refused, and on the
principal gateway of his works is a notice as
follows: "To prevent unpleasantness on both
sides, it is kindly prayed that no one will ask
permission to visit the factory, as it cannot be
allowed. FRED KRUPP.n
The objection to visitors, it 10 claimed by
the people in charge, is not because Of the
fear that secrets in the business will be uii-
earthed, but because much Of the work is so
exacting that moment of inattention on the
part of workmen might lead to the grossest
consequences. rn r5 ara.as
Although it was in the manufacture Of guns
that the Krupps obtained their wide reputa-
ton, two-thirds of their working force are
employed in the manufacture of parts Of iron
machinery, Of parts Of engines, locomotives,
bridges, shifts for steamers, rudders, etc. In
Krupp guns only steel is allowed with ten
sile strength of nearly $4,000 pounds to the
square inch. There are nearly 100 steam
hammers in the works of from 400 pounds to
Fifty tons weight. The anvil and anvil block
of the largest of these weigh 1880 tons and
rest on foundation 100 feet deep.

garded as a wonderful product until Krupp
sent block weighing five times as much. In
1862 he exhibited at London a twenty-one
ton ingot, nine feet high, SO perfect that when
broken no seam or flaw could be detected,
though a powerful microscope was used
The Krupp works can now turn out seventy
hve ton blocks.
Nearly every government except England
and the United States has many Krupp
guns. 1t has been stated by the great manu-
facturer that he had saNt out more than &c, 600
pieces of artillery In 1869 he exhibited one
OF his masterpieces at Paris. 1t weighed
$4,000 Kilograms and used $500 worth of

krupp never seemed to have aspirations
aside from his business and the benefit of his

unauthorized, and it was known he would

years ago. The inscription accompanying
these photographs is:
